Power of sunshine.

I In a recent number of the ChdutduqudR
there is an interesting article by Charles
Barnard, in which he shows that the
great star which We call the sun is liter
ally the stove that keeps the whole world
warm. In conclusion he gives the follow
ing curious facts; Heat expands and cold
contracts, and everything warmed by the
sun expands under its gentle heat Every
rail on all our railroads expands and
grows perceptibly longer in bright sun
shine, and contracts and grows shorter
whenever cloud cuts off the heat, or
the earth in turning moves away from
the sun. So it is found necessary to leave
little space between every rail wherein
it can stretch itself in hot summer days.
Were all the rails pushed close together
in laying the track, the first day of hot
sunshine would pull the track to pieces,
or render it so uneven that it could not
be used. Every iron bridge stretches in
the sunlight, and would tear itself to
pieces were it not carefully adjusted for
this expansion in the sun and given a
chance to freely move on its foundations
whenever the warm fingers Of the sun
shine are laid upon il The Brooklyn
bridge is in four distinct pieces, with
plenty Of room between to move. and it
does move every day. In warm sunshine
it is longer by several inches than on
cold night. The cables of the bridge are
continuous, but the expansion caused by
heat lengthens the cables and they let tie
bridge sink two or three feet in the mid
die. Even a passing cloud, hiding the
sun for few moments, will cause the en-
tire bridge to rise in the middle by cool
ing and contracting the cables. | have
personally measured the movement of the
Brooklyn bridge on hot summers day
between bright sunshine and the shade
caused by clouds, and have seen that it
moved over one inch in less than two
hours. In building the great bronze Lib
erty in New York harbor the same thing
had to be guarded against, and provision
is made to allow the whole vast figure to
move under the expansion caused by the
heat of the sun. The movement, owing
to the irregular surface Of the statue, IS
not visible, as in the Brooklyn bridge. vet
it Is there. Even Bunker Hill moHu-
ment, which is built wholly of stone. is
distorted out of shape every day by the
sun, though the movement cannot be
proved except by certain experiments
made for that purpose.

Bats in cold climates hibernate during
the winter, says writer in the San Fran
cisco Call; in other words, they are
enabled to enter dormant state and live
for months without eating. SO complete
is this sleep that in cases examined the
most delicate instrument failed to detect
breathing on the part Of the animal, and
in another instance the bat was placed
under water without any apparent harm
resulting from the extended bath. The
deep sleeps are generally passed in trunks

Bats have their value, and devour a
large number of insects, from the mos

An Electric Bait cry Applied to Spies Body
-<Iua'S Long Fast.

CHICAGO, November 2l.--A local paper
publishes an interview with Mrs. Van
Xandt, in the course OF which she said to
the reporter: Have you heard that an
effort was made TO revive August after his
body reached the undertaker's? Well,
it is true. The physicians used an electric
battery, applying it to his body for an hour
or more in the hopes of tanning into flame
the spark of life which seemed to be linger-
ing in his veins.
August never appeared to be dead.
His lips were moist and his cheeks were
warm after his body was received from the
jail But in August's case no encouraging
effects were produced, and, though at one
time there was a spark of hope, the physi-
clans soon gave it up and permitted the
embalmers to 20 to work. That was a
great mistake. The embalmers began to
work at two o'clock in the afternoon and
he died at twelve. They should have
waited several hours or more and perhaps
dav or two"
Mrs. Van Xant appeared greatly con-
cerned about her daughters health, and
fears the worst. Nina seems determined
to abstain from food, and it is claimed
that she has eaten nothing since the day
before Spies was hanged. In conversation
with the reporter she expressed much bit
terness against the press and those who
"murderedn her husband.
